True. From a programming point of view, XML is not entirely pleasant to parse. However, contrary to binary format, it -is- extremely easy to create and...I am not entirely in agreement with you. I did not say the stream could not be compressed onto the device. There are very memory constrained compression routines that work great on text. And storage space increases all the time on devices.
What you are suggesting last sounds remarkably much like Sunrise actually, Laurens. That takes HTML and converts it to binary format for reading on PocketPC or palm. But then again, because the program is yours I suppose it fits your vision. Logically.
